Legal experts examine reforms to investor-state dispute settlement

Ambassador Dr. Mohammed Abdulrahman Al Haidan, Chief of the Legal Affairs Sector at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, participated in the second edition of the Senior Legal Counsels Forum, held in the Republic of Singapore with the participation of representatives from around 39 countries worldwide.

During his address at the forum, Ambassador Dr. Al Haidan highlighted Bahrain’s leading role in resolving investment-related disputes, outlining the Kingdom’s advanced legal mechanisms in this field.

He explained that Bahrain’s approach combines amicable settlement mechanisms with international arbitration in accordance with the highest standards, stressing that the Kingdom has succeeded in establishing an attractive investment environment based on transparency and the rule of law.

He noted that these efforts have positioned Bahrain as a regional model in managing investment disputes and safeguarding the rights of both investors and states.

The forum’s sessions addressed the development of modern approaches to tackling challenges faced by states in disputes with investors. Discussions also focused on proposals to reform the investor-state dispute settlement system, particularly the proposed establishment of a Multilateral Investment Court.
